Hi guys,

I'm planning to buy a Clavinova and coming across Pianoteq really sealed my decision to go with digital stuff (at least for the next 10-20 years)

So far, here are my purchase options:

1. Clavinova CLP 380/280, CVP 409

Does anyone have any other suggestions for a digital piano/keyboard? I'm looking for a full featured (i.e. speakers, pedals) model and I'm not a travelling performer. Can the inbuilt Clavinova pedals do all the different pedaling gradients? Plus the iAFC feature seems really great.

2. M-Audio 192/2496
Is there a signifcant difference between the 192 and the 2496?

Also, does anyone have any cable recommendations?

Thanks!

I don't have much familiarity with the midi controllers output by Yamaha DP's.  I know that my first and current Roland puts out continuous multiple damper pedal values from zero to 127.

On the sound card, no knowledge about M-Audio cards, except I know a few people that have them, and they are satisfied.

For more information on M-Audio, ask around at this forum:

Select M-Audio in the Audio Hardware forum (after you have registered), and ask away.
